If he gets a lot of money from a bad team (the Raptors are said to be interested) they're going to regret signing him big time. Tyson is a guy who needs to be in the right situation to be any good. The Mavs are the perfect situation for him... the Raptors, though? He'll be doing like 7/7 for $10 mil a year as they miss the playoffs.

TC is a hard guy to gauge. There are years when he looks like the second coming of Bill Russell (early NO years), then suddenly becomes little more than Kwame Brown with better hands. It's risky to pay him big bucks since you never know what TC you'll be getting.

Tyson Chandler....he's like a box of chocolates.....you never know what you're gonna get.

This. He needs the Mavs as much as they need him.

Bummer if he leaves.. I understand money and everything, but career wise this will be a bad decision.

Cuban stated thru e-mail in the last 24 hours his priority is to determine how far over the lux tax he wants to go before the 2013 season.
His priority was to determine how much money he can resign Chandler.

that doesn't mean he doesn't want him, and it sure as heII per league rules says he can't talk to him 'until Dec 9th'
